A bit of documentation in Readme.md would be nice #2

I ll help with this if you like but first I need to figure out how to compile, as it fails in the same machine that can make hadess's driver.

PS my machine is 64 running arch on 4.8-rc4

You can follow the instructions from here, only replace the git clone URL to this repo instead of the hadess repo.

I'm testing too in #1, but it crashes on my system with Kernel 4.4 and doesn't compile with 4.8.

nicman23 commented 7 years ago

Yeah figured as much. Isn't this driver ubuntu centered?

hzulla commented 7 years ago

As far as I understood it, no. This driver came from Realtek and @anthonywong considers adding it to the Ubuntu kernel. But it is not following the coding standards of the mainline kernel and needs some work before it can be added there.

This tree comes without the firmware .bin's, are they not needed with this driver?
